Based on the condition you described, if a child develops such symptoms, it is generally recommended that you promptly visit the Department of Respiratory Medicine or the Department of Pediatrics at a hospital. Certain diagnostic tests should be performed to rule out allergic cough. Subsequently, targeted etiological and symptomatic treatment should be administered according to the test results. In daily life, encourage the child to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, stimulating, greasy, or cold foods. Ensure adequate intake of warm water, take precautions against cold exposure, and seek medical attention promptly whenever discomfort arises.
